RBR50 out of nowhere is losing connectivity 5-7 random times a day
So, I am relatively technical and out of nowhere by Orbi Mesh has lost its mind. Spent two weeks with Spectrum to make sure everything is perfect between the Node and my House and then with Spect...
New SSID Name
RBS is off
Yes, ISP is Ethernet, so I did not think it was possible
Factory reset has me puzzled a bit, do I need a Ethernet connected laptop for that, as I do not have on at the moment. Thought I read that, but re-reading again.
Can I export by settings and then re-import them, or are the settings compromised and I should start from scratch ?
Would be recommended to use ethernet PC for Factory reset however you can set up the system if you connect to the RBRs default SSID name and PW with wifi PC and after it's connected navigate to 192.168.1.1 to begin the setup routine: https://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface
Recommend following this to FR the system. I'd bring the RBS online as well so it gets reset and setup again, after it's connected and setup, you can turn it off while troubleshooting:

I personally would save off a back up config. FR and setup from scratch and check and test first before loading the saved config from file.
I recommend finding a USB to ethernet adapter to keep on hand at a later time.
